vmware linux kernel driver config

基于linux_2.6.33内核

 

$make defconfig

$make menuconfig

选择下面几项：

 

Device Drivers
	SCSI device support  --->
		<*>   SCSI disk support
		<*>   SCSI generic support
		SCSI low-level drivers  --->
			[*] LSI Logic New Generation RAID Device Drivers
	<*> Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers --->
		<*>   Intel ESB, ICH, PIIX3, PIIX4 PATA/SATA support
	Fusion MPT device support  --->
		<*> Fusion MPT ScsiHost drivers for SPI
	Network device support  --->
		Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)  --->
			[*] EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers 
			<*>   AMD PCnet32 PCI support

这样编译后无需initrd即可启动系统。

在VMware论坛上找到的资料：

Network: PCnet32 (under 10/100 devices, then you have to say "yes" to "onboard controllers")
Sound: Esoniq AudioPCI 1371
SCSI drives (only if your virtual hard disk uses SCSI): FusionMPT for SPI

All processor-related settings should just match the ones on the host CPU. 

If you plan on moving the VM between machines that are not the same subarch (i.e., pentium 3, pentium 4, etc.)

 you might want to use more generic processor settings.
